Bastier

A bastier is a type of tree whose wood is known for its strength, durability, and often its aesthetic appeal. The term is often associated with various tree species used in woodworking and construction, such as certain types of oak, ash, or walnut. In a broader sense, "bastier" may refer to the qualities of the wood or material derived from these trees—characterized by density and resilience—making it ideal for furniture, flooring, or structural uses. It’s a term more commonly encountered in carpentry and forestry contexts, highlighting the physical properties of the wood that result from the specific tree species.
